opinions about smoking while pregnant , breast feeding, and smoking around children.
Ill be honest i smoked probley four cigs after i found out
i was prego with both pregnancies. I didnt smoke.while
bfing and never smoked holdin either of my children.
But my SIL smoked heavily (a pack-apack n a half) daily
threw out her last pregnancy. Her son is 8months has
bad reflux, is constantly fighting ear infections and docs
r worried about the growth of his head. She also
smoked while bfing and smokes while holding him. I
know that kids get sick and have those same issues
and it has nothing to do with weather there parents
smoke or not. but all those at once plus he always has
a runny nose and slit cough. ? Shes prego again with
her 3rd child and shes doing the same thing . Well
actually shes up to bout 2packs a day. Im trying.to
explain to her that alot of those issues probley have to
do with her smoking so much. She always argues that
her first child is perfectly healthy. Even tho her first child
is 3 and still has to do breathing treatments 2x a day.
So plz give me ur opinions on the smoking. And tell me
if im wrong to keep trying to get her to stop smoking for
now
PS im going to have her read this post
Definitely bad. Second hand smoke is bad for an adult, it's horrible for a baby. My foster children's bio parents are both smokers and both children are constantly coughing, despite not being around it for 3 weeks. The doc said it's going to take a few months for them to stop, just because they were exposed to so much smoke.
If a child has to have breathing treatments then they are not healthy. I quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant for my daughter and never went back to it. I knew people who smoked but they didn't do so in my home, I can't imagine smoking while feeding my child...that to me is disgusting.

Quoting opinionatedmom:you cant just break an addiction overnight. its not that easy
why are you attacking me? I am not the one doing it. I have had no luck with quitting. I have tried lots of times.
Quoting Gina_C:
Actually, you can. I smoked for 14 years before I got pregnant. People quit smoking every day. And it's not even that. How hard is it to set your damn kid down before you light up? Or maybe take it outside so no one else has to suffer through it? Especially when it's making your kids sick!! Just disgusting, it really is.
